House Training Your Puppy

   
   
    

Puppies housebreak at different rates.  Some breeds are tougher to teach to go potty outside than others.  Your crate and a consistent schedule are two key ingredients to teaching puppy to potty outside.  Even if you have an adult dog, you can adapt the puppy schedule…

Schedule

Depending on the age of your puppy will depend on how many meals he eats a day.  Puppies up to about six months should be getting three meals: breakfast, lunch, dinner.  Feed Puppy at the same time each meal and use a potty schedule that corresponds to eating.  

Here is an example:

6:30 a.m. - wake up and take Puppy to go potty. 

6:45 a.m. - feed Puppy in crate and give him water.

7:15 a.m. - take Puppy to go potty.

Young puppies have small bladders and less capacity.  They may need to go out every couple of hours during the day. 

11:30 a.m. - take Puppy potty

11:45 a.m. - feed Puppy in crate

12:30 p.m. - take Puppy potty
